How to design like an architect | A modern home 

when i was in college in 2013 i watched this video to be an architect and now i have accomplished it thank you man for this video

The requirements to be an Architect extends way beyond being able to draw an object. Compliance with Standards, regulations, ordinances, planning conditions, site conditions, social and cultural contexts, budgets, work health and safety, structural resilience, industry constructional conventions, ecological and sustainable building materials and processes, energy efficiency, embodied energy considerations....etc.etc This is on top of the visual artistry and functional efficacy and balancing a clients personal desires and needs.

I am a newish concept artist for mainly for game, film, and animation; and in my field we have to wear many hats designing everything from plants, clothing, vehicles. furniture, cities, to individual buildings as well as the story(props) of the lives that live in them, and often times these need to be built in the real world; so it is really wonderful to have videos like these from specialists in each field, I don't know what I'd do without you

as an aspiring architect myself, its truly inspiring to watch videos like this, i mean my teachers can only explain it as they know it cos they aren't architects.. but this sets it out simply and methodically, Thank you Doug!!

Wow! This kind of technique is genius! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Good job!

Hey Doug! These videos you create are amazing. I am an architecture student and I've learned so many stuff about the field from your videos. I am interested in modern and minimalist architecture and this video gave me great ideas. Thanks a lot!

I seriously love this design it is amazing

I'm studying architecture and this have me goosebumps .. Great video :D

I admire you Arch't. Doug. I always watch your videos when I have a design dilemma. Hand sketches are awesome. You'd feel great after sketching something and realising that was a great sketch.

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing it. I hope to see images of the built house someday.

Great design process. I learned a lot and i will definitely apply these on my design subject. Thank you :)

Gorgeous design. Would love to have a home like this.

okay, i am currenty thinking about becoming an architect, i love beautiful architecture, and it is something i imagine will become more and more interesting the more i learn, but i have so many fears about it... questions like; am i creative enough? innovative enough? observant enough for this kind of work? i see incredible structures all over the world, not just the historic and extravagant structures, but also the modern ones, they come from so incredibly talented people and i do not yet have the confidence to say that one day i will be that good... I am a pretty good drawer, and i love it, but i am a copy machine, i can draw a close to perfect replica of a picture of someone or something, but every time i try to create something new, i never know where to begin, what to draw, and it feels like my creativity has disappeared... And also, i am afraid of doing work where other peoples futures are in my hands (one of the many reasons why i will never be a doctor), if for example i create a house that seems fine enough on paper, but when it is time to live in it, the layout will be unsatisfying or impractical, and because of that impractical solution, it will be difficult to renovate the house, or to sell it, and therefore they are stuck with an unsatisfying and impractical house for the rest of their life... i may be overthinking things though...

This house is amazing! I love it!

I so jealous or your expertise Mr. Patt! Thanks for the brief lesson too!

You are an inspiration to me, and I can't wait to do what you do.

Dat cantilever! Thank you for sharing your design process. It's definitely interesting seeing what different routes we take to the same solution.

You do justice to architecture. I really enjoyed your video. Thx

How to design like an architect? That tittle is misleading.

I really enjoy all of your videos!

Ted Mosby killed me !!!! :))))))) awesome ! loved it !!

awasome Work , and i like how you tell the process, keep up make a great content. really apreciate it

Thank you for sharing these things with us !!!

Good idea to ask when and how much is your budget.

This gives me a headstart into my ideas thanks a lot!

1:34 house is my favorite architecture house

Just a wonderful and inspiring video, as always. Thanks a lot Sir Doug :-D

By the way, I read your book to my 2 year old daughter before bed. I think I enjoy it more than she does right now. You do great work. Keep posting videos.

Doug superb vision,i am glad that you find this nice couple as clients that share and trust your skill.Good luck in the process,keep us in touch.I am working on a house in ME with KNOLL furniture....great classic.

that is so cool! how wonderful. thanks for the note:)

amazing work done by architect

Thanks Doug, this looks great!

This was really helpful. Thanks!

Doug! These is an amazing video Bravo

I really like the result but sometimes I question over engineering for the visual effect. The cost of achieving that cantilever must have been huge.

That was eye opening O.O. Thank you!

The office in which I was employed, many years ago, was on it.

this is very inspiring! Thank you!

Doug you got some amazing architecture videos about how to and you also are top at schetching. I would realy like though to give us some more of your work to see at the next videos cause it seams to me that it is also worth mentioning and can educate us as well. An other greatly set up video as always by the way.

Nice work!! ty for sharing ur videos!.. keep teaching us!! (sorry my english)

Wrote one. It's in front of MIT Press now. It's also available if you join The Architect's Academy - self published.

Very elegant solution to a great design brief!!

Inspiring video. Thanks for your time. Informative and inviting.

To design like that, you have to have a very big brain. I adore it!

Wow- did not expect that coming.. Great one.. Thanks for sharing, Sir!

I am a subscriber of yours for years! i am so happy with your videos when i have a chance to look at them! keep up the great work! its both interesting and inspiring even for people who are not going to be architects :)

thank you for making this channel

At first I thought Sir Doug Patt was just an amusing educator But I believe he's a great architect. I hope for more commissions to come. Kudos.

That is such a neat design for the home you did! When designing the home for Scott and Lisa, how far back did you have to research for historical flood data?

Fallingwater also showed that architects are not structural engineers :) Wright tried to play engineer and the building has been a maintenance nightmare ever since :) Not knocking it, just reminding young architects to make sure you get a good contractor to work with. Everyone do what they are good at and the project will be a success.

Thanks for the video. Well done. What software are you using for the 3d / digital drawings?

Beautiful solution Doug 👍🏼

The video is a life work and encouragement

Hi Doug, I really like your videos, thank you for sharing. I have one question though, did you make the model in sketchup? how did you manage to change the shadows into hatch pattern style? thank you

hey dough, I am now getting into house design and I will love to learn more

Doug you are the man!!!

wow!...nice work!

awesome work!

Simply beautiful.

Hey doug. Love the vids and the "cleaniness" of your presentations. What program did you used for the 3d modeling and 2D drawings?

I little misleading title, but nice video

Great job..

Great video! Just would like to know what software you used at 4:40 to show the design. Thanks and once again great video.

thanks Guy.

Amazing video, thaks so much

I'm in the point of my life where I need to start thinking about my career and who I want to be when I am older. Iv took some interest in architecture but I'm not sure if I could do it, I think i just wouldn't have a fixed and shall I say good income. But watching this made me feel a little more at ease, and making me think I really want to be an architect.

Love it thanks. The stats say it all

Was this house built? I'm very interested to see the structure of the cantilever.

Ted Mosby is a fictional character from the TV show, How I met your mother. I used ArchiCad for the rendering.

Awsome love it !

Lucky to have such customers!

This is cool and useful information

I wonder how are you going to support the cantilever built part. How the structure works?

Wow, I think I learned more from you than my professors. Although it does look scary, like looking at it it looks like it's going to fall off but it's a pretty nifty design.

best way to start - old skool but still most effective way to get started

That cantilever house is awesome.

Beautiful

WHAT FONT DO YOU USE? THANK YOU?

I watched all 7 episodes but don't think I heard the word "cost" or "budget" mentioned. I understand you might be hesitant to discuss family finances but surely you had a target cost for this project? The "details" like siting the house mid-slope and requiring a graded driveway down the hill from the access road must have added huge expense - but that doesn't seem to have factored into the design considerations.

GREAT IDEA

i have a question... do architects have to design the electrical wiring and piping and stuff like that or do they only design the house??? thanks

Ok so where is this home? Couldn't find the other videos, the link is to a different playlist...

Hi, what program did you use to create the model?

what a cantilever ! great job :D

This is great. Can you recommend a book discussing this topic-design process- in more brief way? Pls.t.y

thankyou for good videos

Can I ask,, what type software to build up this building ??

Muy buen video señor.

Amazing!!!!

What are your thoughts on the other platforms. I use Revit, sketchup, and CAD in the office where I work but I find myself becoming more of a platform engineer than a designer at times. Frustrating. I'm wondering if there's a more intuitive program that does it all or am I stuck operating between the three. (Not to mention Adobe suites, FCPX, and 3DSMax.) I miss drawing sooo much.

Amazing

Hope to see the image of constructed finished house?

No sweat. It eather inspires or puts her right out. Both results I love to see at the end of the day. Are you thinking about writing another book? Hope so.

thank you for a great video,, :))

So beautiful😍

With big pieces of steel strategically placed, angled, welded and sized as shown. With of course some more calculations and hard work if it ever gets built...

Gorgeous

I worked with an engineer and plan to continue working through the design until we've got it nailed.

Doug, what its your opinion on the work done by Louis Kahn?

I love architecture
